Gift giving is an age old tradition and when you’re married the gifts you receive can range from a diamond ring to a new washer and dryer. (Although my mom hated it when my dad gave her something that she could do housework with) In today’s society a gift is no longer simply a gift. When a guy and a girl go their separate ways there is often a question of “hey when do I get my stuff back?”
We’ve all heard the stories about guys breaking it off with their ladies and demanding that items be returned. Spurned lovers have gone to court over homes, cars, money, and clothing and even, sadly, the dog. No longer do we live in an age when once you give someone something it is theirs to keep. Nope…break my heart…and damn it give me my stuff back….all of it. Well this week one guy may have taken that adage a smidge too far…and this is where it gets ridiculous.
In Victorville, CA a man is on trial for attempting to take an item (actually two) back from his ex-girlfriend. He is on trial for breaking and entering of the insane kind. In July of 2006 this young man (26 years old) stabbed his ex-girlfriend six times in an effort to “take back" breast implants that he paid for. Yes, you heard that right….he was trying to take back his gift of boobage. The man was quoted in court as saying that he was “gonna cut em out and get em back”. He is on trial for a bevy of things including false imprisonment, stalking, burglary and…well…attempted murder. I wonder if he can also be charged with stupidity.
